Eiichi is Japanese in Origin.
Eiichi is a classic Japanese masculine given name, pronounced AY-ee-chee and usually written as a combination of an Ei element plus ichi “one.” Common kanji include 栄一 (“prosperity/glory + one”), 英一 (“excellence/hero + one”), 永一 (“eternity + one”), 詠一 (“recitation/song + one”), and 映一 (“reflect/shine + one”); ichi is most often 一, historically signaling a firstborn son. The name can also be rendered in kana as えいいち or エイイチ, allowing parents to select preferred nuances through kanji choice.
Usage rose in the Meiji through early Shōwa eras, when -ichi names were fashionable, and today it reads as dignified and traditional. Prominent bearers include industrialist and philanthropist Shibusawa Eiichi (on Japan’s current ¥10,000 note) and musician Ōtaki Eiichi. Variants include orthographic choices like 栄一 vs. 英一 and short forms Ei or Ichi; related names include Seiichi, Keiichi, and Ichirō.
